Subject: Re: [PATCH] IB/ehca: Serialize HCA-related hCalls if necessary

thanks, applied.

With your next batch of patches for 2.6.25, could you clean up:

 > --- a/drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/hcp_if.c
 > +++ b/drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/hcp_if.c
 > @@ -89,6 +89,7 @@
 >  #define HCALL9_REGS_FORMAT HCALL7_REGS_FORMAT " r11=%lx r12=%lx"
 >  
 >  static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(hcall_lock);
 > +extern int ehca_lock_hcalls;

and move that extern declaration into an appropriate header file?

Thanks...
